Little more sauce please.
Girlfriend was watching; so I don’t mess up or I’ll get the iron griswold to head
We had a traditional southern New Years meal. Cooked dried black eye peas, fresh collard greens, smoked sausage and baked cornbread (not the boxed mix).
sounds great. Girlfriend caught me using a cornmeal mix she’d kill me
No self rising corn meal and no boxed mixes in my house. Jiffy brand mix is a real no no for me, it contains sugar.
It's one of those things that tastes way better than it looks. Since I eat fairly low carb meals I'd have this as a side with some chicken or I'd put a lot of cubed beef in there.Been cooking most the day today so cooked up real red beans, wild rice and fire roasted tomatoes and some fresh carrots thrown in. Some red pepper flakes, pepper, and some McIlhenny brand hot sauce. Girlfriend approves too

… out of town but my wife is telling me about cornbread, Irish butter, BE peas, cabbage, and corned beef !
My daughter thought that was cruel and I agree …
Well, that's a different approach on how I have seen red beans and rice made.Been cooking most the day today so cooked up real red beans, wild rice and fire roasted tomatoes and some fresh carrots thrown in. Some red pepper flakes, pepper, and some McIlhenny brand hot sauce. Girlfriend approves too
Here in La. we eat red beans and rice on Monday. I have no idea who started that tradition.
I make mine with Andouille sausage, Savoie's smoked sausage, with a ham hock or 2 thrown in there, onions, and green onions. Served over white rice with a few drops of Crystal hot sauce. Oh, and don't forget the corn bread. C'est Si Bon, mon sha'!
My girlfriend read this and says she’s gonna make it sometime very soon. Thank You BlueOvalFitter

I’m sorry but that is another thing I don’t like. My parents had corned beef and cabbage today and I didn’t because I won’t eat that either lol. I’m sure it was great though for you.

Just FYI, beans are one of the healthiest foods in the world.Mainly Chinese food and steaks and guacamole the only three types of food I never tire of lol. I won’t eat anything with beans in it
They're tied to a long life span more than any other food group.
I could go on and on about beans but I won't.
